Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The decision to purchase a previously recorded image of a baby's face was most likely made during the preproduction stage, which involves planning and preparation before actual filming begins. This includes tasks such as casting, location scouting, and obtaining necessary permits and permissions. Choosing to use a pre-existing image of a baby's face would fall within the realm of preproduction planning.
